DbiSaveChanges and Abort against TTable 1

[StevenK]

This follows on from a different posting of mine (new thread as a new problem).

I have a DataModule with a number of TTable components. Against them I make use of the 'Abort' call ('BeforeDelete'/'BeforeInsert' events) such that the user cannot add or delete rows from a displayed grid.
In addition I'm allowing addition / deletion of entries through code (making use of a variable to by-pass the 'BeforeDelete'/'BeforeInsert' events) - behind the 'AfterPost'/'AfterDelete' actions I've placed a "DbiSaveChanges()" call [this has meant adding 'BDE' to my units used].
Now when I compile the code I'm presented with the error "Statement expected, but expression of type 'Integer' found" and the error points to the 'Abort' call. This was previously OK prior to adding the 'BDE' usage and 'DbiSaveChanges' call - now I have hit this problem.

Can anyone tell me what I've done wrong and how to rectify this issue ?

Thanks in advance
Steve

Which version of Delphi are you using?

Can you supply the code that is causing the problem?

It's Delphi 5.
Not got the code a hand to post - but it's no more complex than I've indicated above - a TTable component with 'BeforeInsert'/'BeforeDelete' event consisting of the 'Abort;' call. This compiles and operates OK.
It's when I then add the 'DbiSaveChanges()' behind the 'AfterPost'/'AfterDelete' events (having to add 'BDE' to the uses clause) when things go wrong for me - throwing the error as listed in my first posting.

Try prefixing the Abort with SysUtils:

  SysUtils.Abort;

This will tell the compiler to use the one from SysUtils.pas instead of the one from BDE.pas (which is defined as a constant).

towerbase - Thanks for that - I'm now able to do what I set out to do.
You are a star (and worthy of one!)
